2 Kings 15:17-19

Revised Geneva Translation

¹⁷ The thirty-ninth year of Azariah, king of Judah, Menahem, the son of Gadi, began to reign over Israel in Samaria (for ten years).

¹⁸ And he did evil in the sight of the LORD. And for all his days, he did not depart from the sin of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, who made Israel sin.

¹⁹ Then Pul, the king of Assyria, came against the land. And Menahem gave Pul a thousand talents of silver, so that his hand might be with him and establish the kingdom in his hand.
